Sword Knocks The Gates of Heavens

Chapter 2 Sugar Pills

Although Li Yunsheng went down the mountain before dark, their father and son were on the roadside west of the foot of the mountain. We built a thatched hut. This thatched hut was built by their father and son two or three years ago. They chopped down a few trees on the mountain and moved some rocks. Every year they repaired it again. After all, they have to stay here. last month.

After two or three years of repairs and repairs, this thatched hut is now in a different situation. The stove, tables, chairs, and beds are all available. The walls are firmly stuck with mud, and no wind can penetrate. .

Li Yunsheng tidyed up the bamboo hat and shoji, and then started to boil water on the stove, then carefully scooped up a small bowl of flour from the tank behind the stove and began to knead the noodles. In the middle of the session, he suddenly stopped and thought about taking an egg out of the bowl containing the flour and smashing it into the flour. After the noodles were mixed and cut into thin strips, the water in the pot also boiled. Put the cut noodles into the pot, pick half a spoon of lard from the small clay pot on the stove and put it in. The lard will melt as soon as it is put into the boiling water, turning into a layer of beautiful oil flowers, and put another handful Spicy, and finally cover the pot and sit in front of the stove to burn.

After running around with Li Shanzhu for so many years, Li Yunsheng has made a good meal. Although the ingredients are very common, he cooks it with great care and makes some ordinary food delicious. taste.

Li Yunsheng father and son are very punctual in their work. Every morning at dawn, the two of them carry their burdens up the mountain. Go and do some chores for Guanli. Li Yunsheng sells bamboo hats and shrouds in the small pavilion, and sometimes goes to Ziyun Temple with him. Until the sky darkened, Li Yunsheng went down the mountain and went back to the house to cook. Every time the rice was almost cooked and the dishes were set, Li Shanzhu came back.

It was the same on this day. Li Yunsheng carefully wiped the small wooden table where he was eating, and then rinsed the two sets of tableware and chopsticks, wiped them with a dry rag, and placed them on the table. There was a knock on the door. coming.

It was Li Shanzhu who entered the door. Although he was as thin and dark as Li Yunsheng, he had to bend a little to walk in through the door because of his tall body. Li Shanzhu looked like most farmhouses. He didn’t seem to talk much, and when he saw Li Yunsheng, he was just nodded, and then he just sat down at the table.

After filling two bowls of steaming noodles, Li Yunsheng sat down with him.

“You can put less oil.” Li Shanzhu said with a hint of exhaustion in his voice after glancing at the oil flowers and the few wild onions floating on the clear noodle soup in the bowl.

Li Yunsheng curled one’s lip, without saying a word, he put his chopsticks into the bowl, grabbed a piece of noodles and was about to send it to his mouth.

“Bang, bang…”

The knock on the door came again, Li Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Shanzhu, who was digging his face into his mouth. Unhappy put down the tableware and went to the door to open the door.

At the door stood an Old Lady, the same one Li Yunsheng met at the gazebo today.

“I’m here to return the clothes.” The old man said with a smile with a shriveled mouth.

“I’m sorry for the old man.”

At this time, Li Shanzhu put down the tableware and stood up, and pulled away Li Yunsheng who was standing there stunned. He saw Old Lady With the minoyi in his hand, he understood, it should be his good son who also sent a bucket hat and minoyi with kindness.

Li Shanzhu took the robe from the Old Lady.

“We’re eating noodles, just have an extra bowl, do you want it?”

Li Yunsheng next to him looked at the Old Lady in the wind and rain outside, hesitating or opening the mouth and said.

“Wow, I’ve been asking about the fragrance from a long distance, it’s delicious.” Old Lady squinted and smiled, her words full of joy.

“If the old man doesn’t dislike it, just come in and have a bowl. It will be warmer in the house. It’s time to stop the rain after eating.”

Li Shanzhu is not that stingy either. He immediately invited the old man in, but patted Li Yunsheng on the head with his back to the old man—how can there be any extra face at home? Even the bowls and chopsticks are just two pairs!

Li Yunsheng acted as if nothing had happened, let the old man sit in his original position, and pushed the bowl and chopsticks to her.

“Little baby, why don’t you eat it?”

Old Lady picked up the bowl and chopsticks, looked up at Li Yunsheng strangely, Li Yunsheng had already walked to the stove by this time Before, by the fire in the stove, he took out a book and read it.

“I’ve eaten it.”

Hearing this Old Lady giggled, then didn’t ask any more questions, ate it with keen interest pleasure, and finished eating the inside. He also drank the soup and said contentedly:

“I haven’t eaten such delicious noodles for many years.”

Li Shanzhu only She was a compliment joke, didn’t say anything but hehe smiled.

After eating the noodles, the rain had not stopped, and the old man had no intention of leaving, she asked Li Shanzhu curiously: “You father and son don’t seem to be locals, why did you come to this barren mountain? Let the child suffer these sins?”

She looked at Li Yunsheng who was reading a book in front of the stove with pity.

“Alas…”

Li Shanzhu was sighed. I don’t know if it was because of a helpless Old Lady sitting in front of him. He didn’t hide it, and told all about the Li Family’s past, even the curse of his ancestors by the evil monk.

“I think my Li Family has done good deeds from generation to generation, but I have ended up here today, and even my Li Family male, none of them can live past the age of forty! We really have nowhere to go, and now this The two of us are the only ones left in the Li Family. You said that if the Li Family is in my hands, I will be ashamed of my ancestors!”

“There is such a strange thing in this world? Really unheard- of.” The Old Lady looked surprised.

“If it hadn’t happened to me, I wouldn’t believe it.” Li Shanzhu smiled bitterly, “So whenever we hear a trace of immortal over the years, we’ll look for a chance. “

“I’m afraid this is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.” Old Lady shook her head, “It’s hard to find this fairy, even if it is really encountered by you, it may not help you, after all, I wait for mortals , in the eyes of the Xian family, they are nothing but ants.”

“Who said no?” Li Shanzhu’s expression was bleak, “but you can’t just accept your fate.”

Li Shanzhu said this At that time, Li Yunsheng, who was not far away, curled one’s lip again. This scene happened to be seen by the Old Lady, and the Old Lady said with a smile: “Little baby, what are you smiling at?”

hearing this Li Shanzhu glanced at Li Yunsheng, thinking that when no one is there, it doesn’t matter if you are no big or small, and the others don’t give you face, and the others leave to see that I won’t let you eat a good meal. .

Li Yunsheng’s temperament is naturally not frightened by a glance. He put down the book in his hand and rationalized his thoughts in his mind, and then said in a slightly immature voice: “I think Dad. Instead of looking for that ethereal fairy, it’s better for the two of us to live a better life. You know that immortal is not merciful, but it takes ten years to ask for it. You say you don’t accept your fate, but what you do is just Some perfunctory methods.”

Here, Li Yunsheng paused again, thought about it seriously, and said with a stern expression: “The real disobedience should not be begging for pity from those immortals, but daring to Fight for this day and this life.”

The two adults were taken aback by the rhetoric of a little child, and were stunned for a moment, then Li Shanzhu raised his fist and glared at Li Yunsheng again At one glance, he said wickedly: “The skin is itchy again, isn’t it?” But the woman didn’t laugh at Li Yunsheng, but thought about it carefully, and then said with a smile lovingly: “Don’t beg from the immortals, dare to struggle against The Heavens! It’s very good, very good!” It seemed that Li Yunsheng’s words made her very happy.

“Bang, bang.”

Just when Li Shanzhu was confused by the Old Lady’s excellent sentence, someone knocked on the door again. Li Shanzhu wanted to open the door, but the old man stood up and waved his hand to stop him. She smiled and looked towards Li Shanzhu and said, “It should be the little girl who came to pick me up.”

As soon as the door opened, a woman was standing there. Outside the door, it was just pitch black and the woman’s face could not be seen clearly.

“I think the rain won’t stop tonight, so I’m here to pick you up.” The woman’s voice was surprisingly pleasant, just like the wind chimes outside the window in that summer, and it was refreshing to hear. vibrate.

The Old Lady nodded, she stood at the door and turned her head to look towards Li Yunsheng who was over the stove, raised her hand and beckoned at him: “Little baby, come here!”

Seeing Old Lady calling him, Li Yunsheng walked over with some doubts.

“It’s really inappropriate for me to eat your baby’s stuff at my age.” Old Lady said with a smile: “I didn’t bring anything with me when I came, I only had This bottle of candy pills for my little grandson, here, all for you!”

She took out a delicate white porcelain bottle and handed it to Li Yunsheng.

Other people would have declined to be polite, but Li Yunsheng was not good at being polite, so he just took the bottle.

“Old Ancestor, this is…” The woman in the dark said in a low voice, although her voice was very low, Li Yunsheng could still hear the urgency in her voice.

“What is a bottle of sugar pills?”

Old Lady waved her hand to signal the woman not to say more, Li Yunsheng was a little unhappy with the woman’s words, and thought aloud. Is it just a bottle of sugar pills?

“Little baby, it looks like there will be thunder tonight, so go to bed early.”

The Old Lady looked at the sky, then turned her head and told Li Yunsheng.

Even if the Old Lady doesn’t say it, the two of them won’t go out tonight, but it’s still nodded.

The Old Lady left without looking back. The moment she turned her head and walked away, the light in the room just hit the woman’s face in the dark night. Yunsheng still saw a suffocating face.

Especially the pupils that exude a faint fluorescent light in the night, it looks very unreal, and it doesn’t feel like a human at all.

Just when Li Yunshan was in a daze, Li Shanzhu “Pa” slapped him on the back of the head, and then said:

“Go to bed early, I’m afraid it will rain heavily at night. .”
